    The new location was beautifully designed and built! The food was delicious, service was excellent and the valet added an extra touch to the experience. The bacon in a glass appetizer is heaven, seared halibut is the best fish entree I’ve ever had. We tried the pot pie and it just hit the spot as comfort food. Overall great experience and we will be back soon!

    The service was great and the food was even better. I was very impressed with the wait staff and just how well they knew the menus and the specials. Everyone was very attentive and we did not feel rushed at all. Highly Recommend.

    We were visiting Bluegrass Bistro for the first time based on TripAdvisor recommendations. It did not disappoint! We and our two guests all enjoyed our entrees: one friend pronounced the French Onion Soup the best she had ever had. I enjoyed the Pork Chop and especially the Cheddar Cheese Grits that came with it. My husband had the Meatballs as an appetizer -- a generous serving & very flavorful -- followed by the Salmon, both of which he applauded. Our guests chose Salads for their entrees and seemed to like them. Our server Darlene was hospitable and fun! She gave us recommendations for our choices. She substituted a salad dressing one guest preferred for the one shown on the menu. Serving of the appetizers and meal came in good time. The ambience of the dining room was comfortable and friendly. We were right next to the bar but it was not too loud and we carried on conversation without any trouble. I must say -- and this was the only negative -- the banquette was in serious need of repair: a large tear on one side revealed most of the inner cushion. The seating was still comfortable, but not a very good look. All in all, we enjoyed our visit to Bluegrass Bistro. We would recommend it to others and may return there ourselves in the future.
